In response to the Church Report, the president of Amherst College asked CIA Director G. H. W. Bush if the CIA was spying on the college. Worth noting that in a few months, a professor at the college would sue the CIA for allegedly tampering with his mail. Also the next year (1977) would see an Amherst College alumni appointed as Director of the CIA.

Agency’s Coordinator for Academic Relations wrote a letter to an professor of economics, asking for his help recruiting students for a CIA internship, demonstrating CIA’s attempt to recruit Ivy League students through their professors.
